GENESIS RESOURCES TO LIST ON ASX TODAY


Manganese and Iron focussed, Genesis Resources Limited (ASX: GES) will today list on the ASX

at 1pm (EDST). The Initial Public Offering (IPO) recently closed over subscribed and successfully

raised the maximum amount sought of $4 million. The total issued capital is now 53.08 million

ordinary shares.


On listing, Genesis Resources will have a market capitalisation of over $10 million, with cash backing

of approximately $6.27 million. This calculation of cash backing also includes the share holding that

Genesis Resources has in Western Desert Resources (ASX: WDR) of 3.78 million shares. The

current valuation of these shares is now worth $2.27 million. 


Genesis Resources is an exploration company committed to successful mineral exploration and

development through cost efficient exploration and Joint Ventures. Genesis Resources has an

attractive portfolio of quality iron, manganese, gold, uranium and base metal projects in Queensland

and the Northern Territory. The Company has also entered into a Joint Venture in the Former

Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia with well-known local conglomerate Sileks. 


Following listing, Genesis plans to focus its exploration and aggressively develop its highly

prospective, 55 per cent owned manganese projects at Gladstone in Queensland and McArthur River

and 100 per cent owned Fenn Gap in the Northern Territory. 


In commenting on this significant milestone for Genesis Resources, Pedro Kastellorizos,

Managing Director, said,


“Genesis Resources are delighted to be listing on the ASX today. The Company can now enter into

an exciting phase of its development as it moves towards becoming a new and emerging manganese-

iron producer in Australia. The availability of the additional working capital, resulting from the IPO, will

enable the Company to aggressively explore and develop its various tenements which presents a

significant milestone event for the Company.”


“It is our intention to immediately progress on a number of fronts post listing and in particular, advance

on obtaining the approvals for the Fenn Gap Iron Ore Project. On successful approval, the Company

will commence drilling on site early in 2010. 


“The Company’s geologists will immediately commence rock-chip sampling on all other projects with a

view to progress to the next stage when the assessment and evaluation process has been

satisfactorily completed.”
